I recently underwent an alcohol detox program at an alcohol detox center in Orange County, California. I’ve been drinking since I was a teenager, and over the last few years my drinking has gotten way out of control. I tried a million ways to get it under control, but it was no use. My shrink suggested that maybe it was time to try an alcohol treatment program. I figured, what the hell have I got to lose? I wasn’t happy or healthy or fulfilled in any way. I was just drinking day in, day out. So, I decided to give it a shot.
My time in rehab started with an alcohol detox program
Before I could start treatment at this rehab, they said for my own safety I’d have to go through one of their alcohol detox programs at their attached alcohol detox center. This alcohol detox center gave me the option of a normal alcohol detox or a rapid detox program. I like anything with “rapid” in the title, so they started me on one of their rapid alcohol detox programs.
It was a lot faster and more comfortable than I had heard alcohol detox programs were supposed to be. The doctor at this alcohol detox center gave me medications to help ease any withdrawal symptoms. He told me that it also would help my body flush out the alcohol and re-grow the damaged areas faster as well.
Whatever it did, it sure worked! Within just a few days—instead of the week a traditional alcohol detox takes—I was ready to start my alcoholism treatment at the rehab. My body felt brand-new and humming with energy. My time in the rehab I’ll save for another post, but I just wanted to tell the blogosphere how amazed I was at the service and attention I received in this alcohol detox center.
